Forsyth Lodge, Satpura National Park

How will you see your wildlife? By canoe along a quiet backwater? By 4×4? In close up, on foot? Or from the gently swaying back of an elephant?

There can be few experiences like it. You’re sitting on the back of an elephant as it calmly strolls through dense jungle – strange how such a large animal moves so quietly – on the track of a wild tiger. Or you’re walking along a nature trail with an expert guide who points out strange insects, reptiles and riotous birds as you go. Welcome to the gem that is Satpura National Park.

Make sure you stay at Forsyth Lodge on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to India and it will all be yours. You will be staying in an individual cottage that is reassuringly eco-friendly, but at the same time comfortably luxurious. Relax on a shaded private veranda, discuss the day’s adventures in the Forsyth Bar, star-gaze from the terraces…
